Punta Gorda's five-year revitalization began on August 13, 2004 and has been going strong ever since. Join the citizens, businesses, and local government who have been working together in partnership to achieve dramatic results. We welcome those who helped Punta Gorda begin this process, especially those from surrounding counties without whom the revitalization would have had a slower start. Save the date of August 15, 2009 for Punta Gorda's Five-Year Xtreme Makeover Celebration. Festivities will begin at 1 p.m. in Laishley Park. Don't miss the fireworks that will cap off a day of fun for people of all ages. Come together as a community... Visit the website here.
